BY DR. W. M. W. SPLAWN Professor of Economics, University of Texas Byard arbitration seeme to me to be the most promising substi- tute for the strike. It means that, in a given industry, a committee as impartial and as competent as can be had would sit from day to day ready to hear and to decide any differences between employers and em- ployes which they themnelves haf failed to adjust. It is desirable that the machinery for continuous arbitration shall be set up thru the volun | tary action of employers and employes and without suggestion or tnter-| ference by the government, as has been done by agreement between the! ciothing manufacturers and the amalgamated clothing workers. In the public utilities, service must be uninterrupted. For this reason ft seems that the public in justified in setting up agencies for continuous arbitration where the owners of the utilities properties and their em-| ployes fail to do so. The United States Labor Board in such an agency. |; Kansas is experimenting with a court of industrial relations, which i# an agency for continuous arbitration. It may be objected that it would be | difficult to enforce the decisions of the arbiters, In the clothing trade the [decisions for several years have been enforced thru the agreement of both ides to abide by them. This t# the arrangement which should be en- couraged and developed in mont industries. In the public utilities, a wage earner could be given to understand that when he enters the employment / jot such @ company all disputes over wages, hours end working conditions | would be referred to a committees and that {t would be unlawful to strike against the committes’s decisions.

Is Call Sounded by Union Chiefs, BY JAMES T. KOLBERT WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.—A call to workers of the country to organize in the “war for hon- orable industrial peace” was sounded by national union lead- ers'in labor day messages today as preparations are completed for the fight against the restric tive rail strike Injunction ob- tained by Attorney General Daugherty and threats of a gen | eral strike were in the air, | Samuel Gompers, president of the | |A.

Lewis, prest- dent of the United Mine Workers, who declared, “Peace we must have or civilization will perish.” Meantime operatives of the de partment—armed with extraordi- nary powers under the Daugh- Tabor day mectings of strikers day meetings of »' ‘thruout the country, Datecliees Gere. were ‘given by de partment officials that steps had been taken to prevent defend- ants in the injunction from ad- dressing strikers In violation of the court order, All defendants who have been served with writs are liable to arrest, Orders were lesued to federal dis- trict attorneys to watch all Labor day demonstrations for possible vio- lations of the injunction.
